Poll: Pronouncing 'The Escapist'

[omega 616]

Deffo like the button in the top left of your keyboard + ist.

I sometimes say it like your friend but only when I am in a silly mood, like pronouncing the K in knife or calling a phone the puh-hone.

ih-skey-pizt

that's how you pronounce the word and being the smart people they are, the creators pronounce it like that

Setting a bad example, nawty!

Maybe he is doing something like I do with Chocobo... I hate the correct pronounciation of that, and have always pronounced it 'Cocoa-bo' in protest!! Its something that me and my sister have always done, as we thought it made them sound grander, and less like a piss take!
Unfortunately that also means I don't really like the parts of the series that have voiceovers... I don't like hearing the word any other way!!

You know until I played X that was one I changed often. Chalk-ko-bo was my way of pronounincing it. Of course the l is silent... Teefa or Tiffa? The one that me and my friend still can't seem to agree on is Ocarina. Aw-ka-ree-na(me) or Oh-keer-ra-na(him).

I'm a Teefa man myself... and I'm with you on the Ocarina front, but more of a sharp O sound (as in o-range) than an aw!

Pronunciation is a word that is very often pronounced with a 'noun' sound instead of 'nun'!

It's pro-nun-see-aish-on, but because pro-noun-ce has the 'noun' in it then people automatically put it into pronunciation too!

I had to work out what the hell you meant with noun instead of nun. I have always pronounced it with the nun. At first I called her Tiffa so, sorry not with you on that. I have heard people use O but for some reason I looked at it and decided that was an aw sound.

Simple etymology lesson: We turn to gaming and the virtual world to escape (Pronunciation: ih-skeyp [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/escape]) the real one.
Kind of ironic when you consider the fact that we have the News Room and the R&P forum, but that's beside the point. We're chiefly a gaming website.

Now if you'll excuse me, I must direct my attention to more... pressing matters. [http://500motivators.com/plog-content/thumbs/motivate/me/large/474-drive-me-closer-i-want-to-hit-them-with-my-sword.jpg]

Escape-ist. Largely because that's the word, but I'm crazy like that.
